Which one should you pick?
On a $5,000 trade, PepeBoost is the cheaper of the two. Beyond cost it comes down to which fits how you trade — here's each in short.
Photon — The simple one
Photon has been around since 2023 and keeps things simple. It is stable, well documented and easy to learn, but it offers neither a referral discount nor cashback, so you pay the full 1 % on every trade, and it has fallen behind the others on features in 2026.
PepeBoost — Fast Solana sniper, web + Telegram
PepeBoost is a Solana-only Telegram bot built around fast sniping of Pump.fun and Raydium launches, with anti-front-running, DCA and price alerts. It charges 1 % per side. Join through a referral link and you get 10 % of fees back as cashback, rising to 30 % with volume, paid in SOL. It is smaller than Trojan or Sol Trading Bot.
